Atarashiya Ryokan

天川の名物を取り入れた美味しい食事を提供していただきました｡ お部屋にコタツがあるのは初めてで､非常にリラックスできました。さらに敷布団の足元に湯たんぽまで入れていただき､細かなおもてなしが行き届いたお宿でした。 ありがとうございました｡

This place was gorgeous. First thing first, I left the same day from Tokyo and managed to break my phone on my way there so I got lost and missed the last bus from the nearest town. I was able to call the Ryokan personnel and one of the employees (whose name I forgot) drove to there around 11pm and picked me up ♥ That in itself was incredibly sweet. The only (and when I say ''only''!!!) thing that was a bit...meh...Is that during my stay, the town was empty. Like, 3-4 people, I was so confused. But the town is incredibly beautiful, the hikes in the surrounding area are amazing, I could have spent hours laying on the ground in the temple area to listen to the sounds of water...The food included in my reservation was...to die for. Honestly, what I ate there (the dinner was my favorite) was the best food I ate in my life. The room I stayed in was so clean and stunning, the yukata was comfortable and the tea was delicious! The staff there was so friendly, I forgot their names but I would like to go back there next time I visit Japan for sure :) Next time though I will make sure to come back when there are more people :) So I can make more memories of this great place!

Excellent stay at the coziest little town in Japan. I fully recommend going for the half board option and taking the most out of the fantastic dinner option.

I really enjoyed, but woke up 5am due to noisy neighbour and room separation with thin wall.

食事最中に空き皿を下げるのが早すぎて、嫌でした！ 旅館だから仕方がないが部屋もテーブルと椅子にしてほしい！ 浴室が滑り易くて怖かった！ 部屋の冷蔵庫は缶ビール、缶チューハイがあれば良かった！ 普段はベッドで寝ている為、畳に布団は体が痛かった！ 食事のおしぼりがアロマおしぼりだったが　食事の前なので　香りはいらないと思う！

まず従業員の皆様がフレンドリー。といってグイグイではなく、質問やお願いをすると嬉しそうに応えてくれます。トイレはウォシュレットで快適でした。料理も地場産品を使い、工夫があって美味しく、量も満足。ロビーの暖炉や、布団を温めてくださった豆炭も印象に残ります。唯一、和室なためか隣室家族の活気ある会話で就寝が遅れてしまった位。洞川温泉街の中程で個性あるカフェや、河鹿の滝も堪能できました。また行きたいです。
